When Approvals Meet Print Automation

Let's get real: approval processes suck when you're constantly chasing down signatures just to print a damn document. ApproveThis fixes the decision-making chaos. ezeep Blue Printing handles the physical output. Together? You get a system where approved contracts print themselves, purchase orders materialize without nagging, and nobody's stuck playing secretary between departments.

Why This Combo Works for Grown-Up Companies

Mid-sized to large companies aren't printing birthday invites. They're dealing with packing slips for 500 orders, legal docs requiring wet signatures, or financial reports that can't risk errors. Manual approvals create bottlenecks. Miss a step? Reprints. Delays. Angry clients. This integration kills three headaches:

  • No more approval black holes: Track who's sitting on that vendor contract in ApproveThis
  • Zero "I didn't get the memo": Auto-print the FINAL version, not draft #12
  • External partners? Solved: Your client approves via email, their copy prints in your office automatically

Real-World Workflows That Don't Waste Time

1. "Print This Only If It's Signed" Mode

The Setup: ApproveThis triggers ezeep Blue AFTER final approval. No more wasted paper on unapproved drafts.

Who Needs This: Law firms printing executed contracts. HR teams handling offer letters. Anywhere a signature is legally binding.

Behind the Scenes: Conditional approvals in ApproveThis mean only authorized signers (like the CFO for contracts over $50K) trigger printing. Approval thresholds prevent junior staff from accidentally greenlighting major prints.

2. Instant Print on Request Submission

The Setup: New approval request in ApproveThis = immediate printout via ezeep for physical review.

Who Needs This: Manufacturing teams requiring safety checklists on the shop floor. Healthcare providers needing patient charts printed upon doctor approval.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-route high-priority requests. Emergency equipment order? Prints to the maintenance office's dedicated printer instantly.

3. Quality Control Meets Approval Chains

The Setup: ezeep detects a high-res print job (like product labels) and forces ApproveThis approvals before any ink hits paper.

Who Needs This: Pharma companies compliance teams. Retailers printing batch-specific packaging. Anywhere a misprint = regulatory risk.

Secret Weapon: Approval groups in ApproveThis ensure both the designer AND legal sign off on that label copy. No more "I thought they checked it!"

Teams That Stop Doing Busywork

Finance & Procurement

PO approvals that auto-print to your vendor's nearest ezeep-connected printer? That's next-level. Especially when ApproveThis escalates overdue approvals to the next in command after 24 hours.

Operations & Logistics

Warehouse needs 500 packing slips at 7 AM? Set ApproveThis to auto-approve overnight orders under $1K. ezeep prints them by shift start. Managers only get pinged for exceptions.

HR & Legal

Offer letters print ONLY after HR director + compensation team approve. Vacation delegation in ApproveThis means no delays when someone's OOO.

Setting This Up Without IT Involvement

Zapier does the heavy lifting. If you can set up a Slack channel, you can connect ApproveThis and ezeep Blue. Basic flow:

  1. Pick trigger in ApproveThis (new request, approval, etc.)
  2. Map document fields from ApproveThis to ezeep's print settings
  3. Test with a low-stakes document (office lunch orders, maybe?)

Pro move: Use ApproveThis' email approvals so external partners (vendors, clients) can approve without logging into your systems. Their "yes" auto-prints their copy via ezeep. Professional? Yes. Frictionless? Absolutely.

Why This Isn't Just "Another Integration"

Most approval tools stop at the digital "Approved" stamp. But in industries where paper trails matter, that's half the battle. ApproveThis + ezeep Blue bridges the gap between digital decisions and physical reality. Features like...

  • Real-time tracking: See if the document is stuck in approval limbo or print queue purgatory
  • Approval thresholds: Auto-approve reorders under $500 but require VP sign-off for large batches
  • Printer analytics: Spot if the marketing team's approval delays correlate with their 11 AM latte runs

Bottom Line for Grown-Up Companies

If you have more than 50 employees, approval bottlenecks aren't quirks – they're profit leaks. This integration fixes the "last mile" of approvals where digital meets physical. Less chasing. More doing.

Next Steps:

Book a 15-minute demo to see how ApproveThis + ezeep Blue handles your most annoying approval-print loop. Or play with the Zapier integration yourself – no sales call required.

P.S. ApproveThis doesn't charge per approver. Your external partners can approve via email without you buying licenses. Because nickel-and-diming is for carnival games.
